Special Occasions

"Easter Morning"

The sun rises, the world awakens,
Resurrected from winter's slumber;
New life, new hope, all creation sings,
As we celebrate this day of wonder.

A stone rolled away, an empty tomb,
Proof that death could not contain;
Christ our Saviour, arisen, alive,
His redemption for all to claim.

06

Special Occasions

"Easter Lily"

Pure and white, a symbol of grace,
The Easter Lily blooms in God's embrace;
Its fragrant scent, a reminder of love,
From heaven above, sent as a dove.

Like Christ, who conquered death and sin,
The lily bursts forth, new life begins;
In a world often darkened by strife,
It offers hope and eternal life.

07

Special Occasions

"Easter Joy"

On this day, let us rejoice and sing,
For Christ our Lord is risen, King of Kings;
The tomb is empty, the stone removed,
God's promise fulfilled, His love proved.

The pain and sorrow, the cross and death,
Were all for us, to give us breath;
Easter brings hope, a new beginning,
A chance to live, love, and keep forgiving.

Special Occasions

Resurrection

In the depths of night, when all was still
A silence filled the air, a void to fill
The world lay still, as death consumed
And hope was lost, in despair and gloom

Yet in the midst of this darkness deep
A flicker of light, began to seep
Through the cracks of despair and fear
A glimmer of hope, was drawing near

For in the tomb, where the dead lay cold
A miracle was about to unfold
As the stone was rolled, and the door flung wide
An empty grave, stood there inside

The angels rejoiced, their voices raised high
For death had been conquered, and victory was nigh
And in that moment, a new dawn arose
As life sprouted forth, from where death once froze

The chains of sin, were broken and cast
As freedom and grace, appeared at last
And from that day forward, a new story began
Of hope and redemption, for all of man

So let us rejoice, and lift high our voice
For death has no power, in this great rejoice
Let us celebrate, this resurrection day
For in Christ we live, and all sins are washed away.
